Tiffany's Tuesday Tunes: L is for Library Ladies

About six weeks ago, I started working at a local library. And I fell in love with my job. This comes as no surprise, I have been an active library patron since childhood. As a kid, my parents took my to the large, beautiful library in our county seat. I loved it there, I wanted to live there. I spent a lot of my summer days at that library. When school was in session, I loved the days the Bookmobile would come to school. In college and grad school, I spend hours upon hours in the libraries. When I moved to Pittsburgh, I did not change my voter registration for many years, but I immediately got a library card. So, yeah I kind of love libraries.

You know how some kids play school, or house, or doctor? I played library. I taped little pockets into the backs of my books, and made registry cards so people could check out the books. Not even joking.

The best part of my new job is it combines so many things I love: books, social media, technology, pop culture, community outreach. It is pretty much the perfect job for me. I still cannot believe I get paid to do this stuff! And the ladies I work with are so awesome. They are supportive and encouraging, and I love going to work each day.

So, the heart of this book worm is going pitter pat with love over the fact that I now get to be a library lady. Because I do not have a Library Science degree, I am technically not a librarian, but who knows what the future holds. In the mean time, enjoy this bookish playlist for all my library ladies out there.

Why a small town blog?

I am a small town wife. Sometimes, ridiculous things happen in my life. They are probably minuscule in the grand scheme of things, but I often find them humorous, and think others might as well. And so, I have decided to share.
